Physics is the study of matter, energy and the interactions between them. It is essentially the study of everything! How does the sun keep shining? Will nuclear fission solve future energy problems? How does a rollercoaster use electromagnets as brakes? Will the universe keep expanding? What caused the Big Bang? All of these can be answered through physics. Physics can also help you with your other subjects as you continually improve your maths skills and develop logical and critical thinking skills. Physicists explore the fundamental nature of almost everything we know of. They probe the furthest reaches of the universe to study the smallest pieces of matter. Physics is crucial to understanding the world around you; it is about how everything around you works. You will learn this as you focus on the following A Level content modules: Development of practical skills in physics Foundations of physics Forces and motion Electrons, waves and photons Newtonian world and astrophysics Particles and medical physics
Grade 7 or above in GCSE Mathematics and Physics or 7/7 in Combined Science. Success depends on your ability to apply maths, language and problem thinking skills to your study along with plenty of practice.
100% examination plus a standalone practical endorsement. There are three papers to be sat in the summer of Year 13 with a combination of multiple choice, recall and application questions. 40% of the overall assessment of A Level Physics will contain mathematical skills equivalent to Level 2 or above. At least 15% of the overall assessment of A Level Physics will assess knowledge, skills and understanding in relation to practical work.
